Schenectady, NY, September 18 -- docSTAR, a recognized leader of comprehensive and integrated document management solutions, has released its newest Integration solution… docSTAR’s MFP-Link. docSTAR has developed an integration solution that allows users to scan and intelligently file documents directly from Sharp^® OSA-enabled MFPs, which are preferred by many users. docSTAR’s MFP-Link is powered by the award-winning Autostore^® framework and takes advantage of docSTAR 3.7’s Indexed Import feature, making filing at the copier convenient and consistent.

Mark Malone, Director of Product Management at docSTAR, states, “With docSTAR’s MFP-Link, users can complete their scanning and filing in one place, at one time, via a Sharp OSA-enabled MFP. This process is much more efficient than scanning to a folder and then returning to a PC to perform the filing function. Sharp OSA-enabled MFPs can improve productivity, reduce operational costs, and provide targeted solutions for any individuals business needs.”

The one step process provided by docSTAR’s MFP-Link assures high productivity levels with documents not collecting in users’ Inboxes waiting to be filed. This is also particularly significant in shipping departments, warehouses, and a variety of other industries in which users may not have a PC or the experience in using a PC application.

Convenience and Consistency
Data entry at the copier needs to be not only convenient but also consistent with the filing policies established by an organization. docSTAR’s MFP-Link provides that convenience for data entry operators by prompting the user to select a form that corresponds to a docSTAR template. Users are then prompted to fill in only the fields displayed on that form. By limiting input into specific values, documents become filed in such a way that they may always be found by any user. This process allows for maximum consistency.

In a true image management system like docSTAR, this guided filing process is a primary benefit versus the limited scan-to-folder or scan-to-network features available with most copiers.

Easy-to-Use Customizable Forms
Ready-to-run filing forms are provided by docSTAR for most common business documents; such as: Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, Correspondence, Human Resources, Marketing, and Resumes. In minutes, it’s ready for use without any type of configuration.

“The Sharp OSA platform enables dealers to tailor MFP-based solutions that meet each customer’s unique business challenges,” said Tom Davis, vice president, Marketing Applications Development, Sharp Information and Imaging Company of America (SIICA). “This pairing with docSTAR allows our customers to scan and file directly from the copier, saving time for business critical applications.“

Furthermore, customers can modify or create their own forms, tailoring the filing process to accommodate their own needs. Sharp OSA technology creates a truly customizable MFP designed to meet virtually any business need. It is a development platform that turns an MFP into a gateway for document-based business communications by integrating the device with network-based applications. It allows businesses to connect their MFPs with a wide range of enterprise applications, including document management applications, reporting functions and programs developed internally.

For ultimate customization, customers can call upon docSTAR’s professional services or their Reseller to develop solutions specifically for them.
